Paris or better known as the “The City of Love” still reigns as one of the most popular cosmopolitan destinations in the world, showcasing both natural beauty while also continuing to make its mark as a historical treasure that has persisted through the decades. Unfortunately, even with all the beauty and history Paris as a whole can arguably be one of the most stunning yet expensive cities to live or visit even for a small amount of time.
Although this has become increasingly easier for tourists to travel to due to newer housing options such as airbnb and other hostels, finding delicious food spots to enjoy while sticking to your budget can be quite the difficult task. France’s capital is known for its rich gastronomic history which are perfectly located everywhere from wide boulevards to the narrow streets of MontMartre where artists have been finding their inspiration since early to mid 20th century.
One neighborhood that is worth mentioning due its rich medieval history along with some of the most delicious, inexpensive local food spots that have received international acclaim is called Le Marais. Almost similar to taking a time machine back to medieval Paris, this approachable neighborhood which is historically known as the “Jewish Quarter” hosts some of the most stunning, quaint parks and areas in the city, while also simultaneously hosting the most ethnically diverse foods.
